Audition 110 Review

25 watt practice/studio amp. 2 channels plus reverb. Solid state. Headphone jack. Good amp if you live in an apt because it sounds good quite, but you can crank its 25 watts to a pretty rocking level.

Features: Not sure of the year the amp was made, mid 90s im sure. Its a pretty good amp. Its a 25watt 1x10 combo amp. It has of course 3band EQ, it features reverb, its 2 channel amp, clean and drive channel.Single input, ext cab output on the back. Headphones and controller inputs on the front. For the drive channel you have the pre gain knob, which controls the level of gain. And then you have to post gain knob, which is the volume of the drive channel. Very simple amp to operate.(Which is how i like it. ..simple.) // 7

Sound: Im using this with a mexican strat, and sometimes a tube screamer. This is one of Peavey's 'Transtube' amplifiers, which means the amp is supposed to sound like tube. I dont if Id call it a tube sound, but its not bad. Especially since you can pick these used amps for around a 100 bucks or less. The drive channel isnt the most outrageous distortion you've ever heard, but it does sound pretty good. The controls alter the sound nicely and are effective for the most part. The reverb works, you can go from subtle to out of control reverb. Again not the best effect, but nice for the type of amp that it is. // 8

Reliability & Durability: It seems like a well built peice of equipment. My experiences with the Peavey company have all been good ones, I have respect for the company and the quality of their products. For bedroom practice its more than loud enough and sounds great. I havent gigged it, because its a little small for that. I have jammed with my friend whose a drummer and its loud enough to hear over the drums, but Im not sure how well it would do in a full band setting w/o help from a PA. For jamming with another guitarist and a bass player it would be perfect. // 9

Impression: For what this amp is, and compared to similar amps of this type (20-30 watt practice amps) its amazing. For bedroom practice, you'll have more than enough power and you get a very nice sound from it. Its too small for full band practice or gigging but thats not what your using it for. Features arent amazing but it doesnt have a bunch of crap you wont be using. Its a very simple and straight ahead amp, great for use with additional stompboxes. My favorite thing is that you can find these amps in pawn shops, etc. for under 100 bucks and they sound great. // 8

Price paid: $ 125

Purchased from: Some guy

Features: 25 watts and 10 inch speaker. I play mostly metal and rock. It has 2 channels. It has pre and lead knobs for the distortion channel. I don't really use the distortion because it's not all that great. I know big disappointment but it's not that bad. I have a DigiTech RP50 pedal and they have better distortion than this amp. The lead isn't that bad. It's got a humming sound to it when you turn it up. It's loud enough to practice in your room but not enough for a gig. It's a solid state I think. // 7

Sound: I'm using a F-100 ESP with some no-name brand pickups with it and I got to say it's not that bad. It's suits my style pretty well. I can play from Collective Soul to Lamb Of God or As I Lay Dying. It loses it's volume if you turn the bass all the way up so I have my bass on 2 and mid on 5 and high on 8. And it sounds pretty good. The clean channel isn't really distorted at all at top volume. // 7

Reliability & Durability: This amp is really not a gig amp. Every now and then it'll break up and make really loud popping noises. It hasn't broken down on me yet but it does make rather strange noises when I'm playing. But that could be a lose wire in my guitar(not sure). // 5

Impression: I play metal and rock. I've heard Peavey's are for metal so that is why I bought this one. I've been playing 2 years I think. Overall I think it's a pretty good buy for 125. If it were stolen or lost I'd get the Peavey Super 40 XXX which I really really want. I don't really love it or hate it. I wish the distortion was better but for 125 yeah. // 7

Features: This amp is perfect for anyone who just started a garage band or small group, featuring 2 channels, clean and lead, and 3 jacks, a headphone jack, an input jack, and an extension jack in the back of the amp. I use every feature that this amp has to offer and I love it the power is awsome this is the first transtube I have owned and I love it. This amplifier packs a full 25 watts with a Blue Marvel speaker which is found in quite a few of the transtube series Peavey offers. // 9

Sound: I am currently using a BC Rich Bronze Mockingbird that was purchased from Sam Goodys for $169, the action on the strings has been lowered and the pickups have been raised to suite the strings (Erine Ball Power Slinkys) and it sounds beautiful combined with the amp and the music style I play (rock, metal, Lynyrd Skynyrd, and anything else I like). You will notice a small humming sound when the distortion (lead) channel is on. It's a tad bit annoying but other than that the guitar and amp sound great together. The Distortion is great for a lot of diffrent things and combined with the reverb feature, it is amazing. When the channel is set to clean at high volumes it seems to stay perfectly clean no distored sounds at all. // 10

Reliability & Durability: This amp is very sturdy and seems to be holding up fairly well, no loose parts or anything so it seems to hold up just fine. // 8

Impression: Since I play anything and everything that I seem to like this amp is perfect for it, from Metallica to Skynyrd it is one of the best amps I have owned and I would have to say if anything ever happened to this amp I would definitly go the distance to get another one just like it, I love everything about this amp and all aspects it offers. I have played on a lot of amps but this one is is by far the one that I like the best. // 10

I got this for nothing a few months ago ^_^

It really surprised me, as I was using a Roland Cube 30w, yet this produces a better tone through my Boss ME50. Mainly for practise though. For gigging, I just use whoevers amp happens to be there ^^
